Default Is anyone driving their S2000 all winter?

Just curious if anyone is driving their S2000 all winter long. I drove my AP1 all winter last year, and it was a damn blast. I actually have some gopro footage from me having some "fun as well that I've been meaning to post up

I recently sold my S2000 though unfortunately, and I have my set of AP1 wheels with studded snow tires on them still. I tore through last winter no problem with these suckers. They are all in good shape and I am not sure if I want to sell them or keep them for another S2000 I may buy in the future. If I were to sell, what do you think a good price on them would be?

here's a pic for fun

Seeing how this winter is over 1/2 way done I'd say to keep them till next fall and if you don't have another S try to sell them then. Depends on tire brand as to what you'll get. Oh, my car is garaged during the salt season.

Looks good and reminds me of my youth.

Years and years and years ago, I drove an Austin Healey 3000 through three hard Syracuse winters. They once closed Route 81 in Binghampton and I made it as for north as Cortland before the police pulled me off. It would toboggan through the cross wind snow drifts. Over the years, it weaved its way through 3 of 4 big multi-car accidents on Route 17. It never stranded me. Never had snow tires, though, just Michelin Xs.

Unfortunately, those hard, salty winter did little for the car's body.

I drive mine all year round, but it's my only car. Car is so good with in snow with snow tires, I just hate getting it dirty so I have to go hit the car wash after tearing around
